Documentation/rv: Explain epoll and aborted sleeps

Browse source

epoll_wait() is a valid sleeping reason for real-time tasks because it
uses PI-aware locking, but the rtapp sleep monitor documentation only
discusses clock_nanosleep() and futexes. Document it.

ABORT_SLEEP represents a task restoring TASK_RUNNING before entering
the scheduler. Since the task does not actually block, it becomes
runnable again without a wakeup sequence unsafe for real-time. Document
this behavior.
